Home Catering
We all live in busy times with various conflicting commitments & priorities.
These days most households enjoy an inclusive, open plan living format, typically leaning towards a more relaxed and casual style of dining & hosting, but equally special.
The Hidden Kitchen aims to prop you up as the host so you can enjoy lunch or dinner, whether it is a low key dinner party or celebratory event. Our mantra for our catering services – secret – special – sustainable.
We offer two types of service;
Standardised dining - we offer a priced set menu to select from, or
Bespoke dining - we tailor the menu to your needs.
Our standardised (rustic & gourmet) and bespoke menus evolve with the seasons to ensure the most flavoursome ingredients are used.
Both services are designed to take the hassle out of hosting, providing a subtle and seamless service. These menus are therefore based on the Hidden Kitchen preparing your chosen menu, with the host responsible for the finishing touches and serving it.
Shhhh - no one needs to know you’ve had help!

Our menus are designed for a minimum of 8 guests and maximum of 20-30 guests, depending on how many courses you would like.
Prices range from £45-75 per head.
We offer two styles of menu depending on your budget; our rustic or gourmet menu.
All diners will be served the same dish for each course. However, if there are 12 or more guests, the Hidden Kitchen can provide two options per course at no extra cost.
If you would like us to offer additional courses or dish options, this can be accommodated at an additional cost.
All mains are served with a starch and vegetable side, which is to be agreed with the host and designed to complement the main.
Free delivery within a 30-minute drive of SW2 4HE.

What if our standard menus don’t whet your appetite…..?
You may like to explore our bespoke service. We will create a bespoke menu tailored around what you fancy eating, how many courses and options you want to provide to guests.
This service is very well suited if you are celebrating a special occasion or simply want that extra wow factor and flexibility!
We can provide this service from 2 diners up to 30, offering a broader repertoire compared to our standardised service.
We can also provide a more “hands on” service if you’d like, with us supporting with serving and tidying up.

We all live in busy times with various conflicting commitments & priorities. Feeding a family or household is another job on the ever-growing to-do list. The Hidden Kitchen wants to take the stress out of this task and put the enjoyment back into everyday eating. With all our dishes, we aim to avoid any processed nasties, offering a range of healthy, tasty & nourishing meals that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your home.
This menu changes each week to keep things interesting! We also shape up the dishes as the seasons change to ensure we are using the freshest, tastiest ingredients.
Our standard batch menu is designed to feed 4 people per batch.
The Hidden Kitchen can "package" the standard batch into multiple smaller or larger containers to suit household size. E.g. 2 x 2 person containers or 3 x 4 person containers.
The Hidden Kitchen can prepare multiple batches of our standard batch size for a specific dish. We offer a discount depending on volume.
All food prepared should be stored in a fridge or freezer and consumed within the “use by” date.
Orders should be placed by 6pm Sunday to receive meals the following week, on the Wednesday or Thursday.
Free delivery on orders over £100.

You may like to explore our bespoke service. With this service we can pretty much cook anything you fancy!
Our head chef will come to your home for the day (9-5pm) and will cook a range of meals for your household, from lunches to dinners and snacks.
With this service we charge a day rate for our time (travel expenses excluded) of £300 and agree a food shop budget with you.
We will source the ingredients in advance and are more than happy to source from any preferred suppliers you have.
Based on your food shop budget, the Hidden Kitchen can either suggest a range of tasty dishes, or you can simply share your ideas and we shape the meals from there.
We estimate that from 9-5pm we are able to prepare roughly 4-6 dishes, based on 4 person meals. However this varies depending on dish complexity and dish sizes.
We will pack and store all meals as you wish (e.g. in the fridge or freezer, in specific containers or dishes).
This service can be offered within 1-hour of SW2 4HE.
